Dear Tear family, I am so very sorry to hear about Rick. We knew each other at DU and he left a lasting impression in my heart. He was always so kind and caring just a wonderful human being. I will be praying for all of you and hope that you can find some peace in his memory. Sincerely, Valerie Wilson Liber
Diane, Ben and Karl, You have my condolences on Rick's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Greg!
Rick was a good friend when we were young and growing up in Oberlin. I'm very sad I wasn't able to maintain friendship with Rick as years went by. My heart goes out to his family.
Rick and I dated for year or two and spent many special moments together back when we were in high school. I hadn't kept in touch with him at all but I remember it was a pleasure to see him and catch up at our 20th reunion in 1995. I knew him as a very kind, generous, and loving young man with a gentle soul and an endearing smile. I will always have fond memories of him and I shall be forever grateful that I had a chance to know him for a few years. My deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.
Diane, Ben, and Karl, We are thinking of you and remember you in our prayers. Lee and Bev Seeley
Diane and family- so sorry about the passing of your loved one. Prayers for comfort and strength at this difficult time.
Much Love, Bill
I have many memories of working with Rick at Murray Ridge that will continue to make me smile each time I recall them--LONG weeks managing Camp Timberlane, shared office spaces and morning coffee chats. And many many lives at the group homes forever touched by his presence. Diane Ben and Karl, may you find comfort and peace through the thoughts and prayers of so many who were touched by Rick and his friendship.
